Though it’s only a few lines. They’re a beautiful and well put few lines. I really enjoyed this. I wish more people would write short poetry with an impact. Rather than twenty page sonnets that end up meaning something that could have been a stanza or two.

patiently waiting in line
to purchase a small bag of potatoes
and thinking about your line
“I don’t want to forget”
have you forgotten 10,000 times before ?
does your memory go back to caveman times ?
you put alcohol in your title
not a good start
for a beautiful person

Sara! Loved this piece! So, simple yet meaningful! A wonderful example of the emotional response everyone universally want to hear. Loved the unique perspective of hearing the words one is longing to hear but being a little tipsy. Very clever!
